GMAT PREP

by icandy018 » Thu Oct 09, 2008 9:13 am
Hi all.
Is the GMATPrep the best indicator of your actual test score? I scored a 520 on my first Kaplan cat but i was wondering if i should take the GMATPrep instead of a second Kaplan cat? thanks:D

GMATPrep is THE best indicator currently. Kaplan is probably the worst?

iMO

take GMATprep , specially the VA part with a pinch of salt.

in VA you will find many repeats as well as questions discussed in btg forum. Due to this there is a high chance of your score getting inflated by 30-40 points.

to answer your questions about Kaplan...it's not unusual for someone to score 60-70 points higher on the actual GMAT than they did on Kaplan...so don't worry too much!

VA means verbal. Kaplan scores tend to be lower for most people than the actual gmat. Heard lot of people saying Kaplan is harder than actual test.
